Scholarships & Awards
The Foundation annually grants 16 post-secondary scholarships, as well as the Chair's Award of Distinction. These sponsorships of exceptional CGA students and graduates would not be made possible without the generous support and contributions from our donors.
Recipients are awarded the scholarships at CGA Alberta's Honours and Awards Ceremony held in the autumn of each year. For more information on scholarships, click the below links.
